Question
I've had my ebay store for nearly a year. While it was doing ok, it wasn't making me rich. Not that I expected it to.
However, Mike/Cobaltlady brought to my attention the fact that I had not used the best SEO I could. Ok, so it was a mess. He showed me how to fix it and I did. Things are looking up and I'm getting more sales from the store. So you might want to check your keywords for the search engines and make sure you didn't do what I did initially.
Thanks, Mike! You're the best!!!

Thanks Jo you are a sweetie! Hope to be back 100% soon. Taking my brother-in-law to rehab center tomorrow. It's been a long week. I sure miss being here 12 hours a day.

Answer
OK, are you just going to tease us or do we get a step by step process for evaluation and improvement.
(my not so subtle way of asking Mike for for a "How to" outline.)
Answer
I'd love to hear more about this.
I have two ecrater stores that contain the same widgets found in my eBay store.
My ecrater items are kicking my eBay store items' b*tts. When I google or froogle, my eCrater items show up right at the top. Most of the time, I give up looking several pages back and can't find my eBay store items.

Boy have I spoiled you guys and gals or what. Anyway here's a link I whipped up real quick so I'm not sure how good these instructions are. Remember I don't have a eBay store so this is sorta new to me. If there is anything that doesn't make sense let me know. Ebay store keywords

Mike, fabulous job as always. And errrr, I guess I sorta volunteered you for that. Oops. And yes, we're spoiled. Mostly because you know all the stuff we don't know and I for one, haven't any idea how to find it out on my own.
By the way, my friend, you are SO appreciated!!!

Sorry but I have not been here in a while.
My e-bay store sales have slowed down sooooo much I am now forced to find a job unless I can somehow improve the performance of my e-bay store soon. About a year ago 65% of my sales came from my e-bay store. E-bay made some changes and down the tube it went.
I printed the instructions out Mike (Cobaltlady) gave earlier in this thread and I will implement them asap. A big thank you to Mike for helping me soooooo much with my website. Without him I would have never got it done.
Answer
Mike is the best-est for sure! He's done wonders for my website - am going to go read his essay on eBay stores right away!
Answer
I worked on my e-bay store this past weekend. I hope I did it right. I read it can take up to 30 days for the results to show up. I hope it is faster than that.
Lately all my store does is this
Answer
Search engines are very slow to respond. Google being the slowest. If your store was already indexed the results will be faster than if it were a new store.
